CAMPING OUT: Knicks star Carmelo Anthony holds court with campers from the Boys and Girls Club yesterday at St. John’s.N.Y. Post: Charles Wenzelberg

Carmelo Anthony wants the Knicks to have a gold-medal mindset.

The Knicks forward said he wants to bring the outlook Team USA had during its gold medal-winning effort at the London Olympics to Madison Square Garden this season.

“I’m excited to get this thing going,” Anthony said. “Especially coming off this run we just had with the USA team. To be able to put that team together and still be able to accomplish something. I want to bring that mentality back here to the Knicks.”

Anthony and teammate Tyson Chandler played together in London alongside superstars such as Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, harmoniously cruising to a second straight gold medal.

The Knicks have been criticized since the acquisition of Anthony in February 2011 for chemistry issues that have seemed to plague him and Amar’e Stoudemire. In addition to the trio of Anthony, Chandler and Stoudemire, the Knicks added veteran point guards Jason Kidd and Raymond Felton as well as Marcus Camby to fill out a roster that hopes to contend for an NBA title.

“I’m excited, everybody’s working,” Anthony said during a ProCamps event at St. John’s University. “Amar’e is in the gym, Iman [Shumpert] is getting his knee right, Tyson was out there with me. We have veteran guys who we don’t really have to teach the game to. It’s a matter of putting it all together and making this run.”

While Anthony and Chandler were in London, Stoudemire was in Houston training with Hall of Fame center Hakeem Olajuwon to improve his post game.

“I’m ready to see what [Stoudemire] added to his arsenal,” said Anthony. “I’m excited by the fact that he even went down there to work with [Olajuwon]. That’s a big step forward.”

In Team USA’s record-setting win over Nigeria, Anthony scored 37 points in 14 minutes. The star forward is looking to drown out his critics with a similar approach when the NBA season starts.

“I just played basketball,” Anthony said. “It’s all about playing basketball, the only thing different over here is that we play 82 games, so someone can criticize you more often. My mindset is to just play ball and not worry about what anyone says.”

Anthony can start by ignoring former Knick Charles Oakley, who in a Post report criticized Anthony and Stoudemire for not making their teammates better.
